Speaking to the candidates at the adult confirmation service in St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral, Wellington, the other night, the Bishop of Wellington mentioned that in every society there were three classes of people. The first comprised those who took as much as they could and gave as little as they possibly could in return; the second, the mass of ordinary, decent people who paid their way, met their responsibilities, and claimed their privileges; and the third, those who gave more than they received. It was the third class, said Bishop Holland, who were the creative element in a society. The health and vitality of any community at any time depended on the proportion of the third class, which the church was out to create and to unite in a living fellowship of service.
